Now you are going to make small cuts on both ends of the felt. How far apart you decide. I wanted the ends of my leather thread to be on the inside (between the tin can and the felt), and I wanted the same amount of felt on both sides of the first and last cut. That made the first cut 1cm from the edge, the next 12mm, the third 12mm and so on. When that is done you cut the leather thread a couple of millimeters longer than the hight of the tin can.

As I promised last week here you have the tutorial for the paper bowl made with carton instead. It’ s not that much different from the paper bowl tutorial, the biggest difference is that here you don’t fold the paper in half. If you want to make this bowl I suggest that you first take a peak at the first tutorial I did.

For this you need:

→ 2 squared shaped pieces of carton. Mine where 13 x 13cm.
→ A piece of regular copying paper
→ A crochet hook and a ruler (Or foldingbones. Use whatever you use to make a nice folding)
→ A pair of scissors
→ Glue

Start by cutting the pieces of carton in half so that you get 4 triangles. But we are only using three of them for this. Then cut the copying paper in the same size as the triangles, and fold it like I did here (Step 2-5).

Place the copying paper on top of the carton and draw with the crochet hook along the folded lines (use the ruler as a help). This leaves marks so that you know where to fold later on. Repeat on all pieces of carton.

So many of you followers on Bloglovin liked the Paper pen holder I did so I thought that you might like this one too, and it’s actually a bit easier to make. No cutting or measuring at all.

For this you need:

→ 3 pieces of thin paper in the shapes of squares. How big, you decide. I did one 9x9cm and the finished bowl is about 6.5 cm wide and 2.5 cm high. I also did one 13x13cm and that turn out to be about 9 cm wide and 4 cm high.
→ Glue

Then you thread another piece of cork again like the picture shows. And another one.. Don’t glue them into place yet, because as you go you can make the braiding tighter and tighter. But be careful with the cork so it doesn’t brake.

Continue like this until you reach the other end. Here I ended up cutting off a piece of the ends of the cork, because I wanted to finish with a horizontal strip. Then you glue the ends of the strips togehter.

I also cut four thin strips and glue them on all sides of the trivet to get a nicer finish. And you are done!
